Jinxed

And so it begins...

After my little breakdown I laid down by Liam and tried to sleep on Dylan's request. I was grateful for my long plaid shirt and tank top now to fight against the bitter cold.  To my surprise I fell asleep quite quickly.  When I woke again I had a strange feeling it was morning, even though there were no windows.  I sat up and looked around the room in the dim light from a small light on the roof.  I saw Liam still asleep next to me and Dylan leaning against the wall fast asleep in a guard type position.  He looked kinda funny in a cute sorta way like that.  I slowly stood up and stretched.  I leaned over and gently patted his shoulder to wake him up.

"Hey, Dylan, rise and shine, er at least I think it is."

"Hey miss Kenzie." he said with a small smile

"Its MaCk y'know" I corrected him for the billionth time

"Okayy whatever you say" he then seemed to realize where we were and the smile fell from his mouth

We sat in silence for a little while.  I could tell we were thinking about the same thing. Liam. I was about to speak up when I heard the door start to unlock.  Dylan and I both jumped to our feet.  I scanned the room for some protection, but as I guessed there was nothing.  The door opened and I recognized the violet eyed girl from yesterday.  She stepped closer and I saw that she was holding a tray.  She held it out to me and I took it.  It had stale bread and an apple on it.  In her other hand she held a small water skin.

"Thank You"

She nodded and left, relocking the door.

"Liam takes the bread, you get the apple." I stated firmly knowing I would last longer without eating. 

"What?! No you get the apple!"

"Dylan please don't do this.  I can go longer without food anyway!" We had a silent argument and when I finally won he took a bite of the apple.  Liam got up about an hour later and scarfed down the bread. I gave Liam my jacket and put on Dylan's hoodie.  We sat there for a few hours until we heard the door open again.  But this time it was the kidnapper.  His greasy blond hair stuck up strait in the front.  I steadied my breathing and looked into those steel blue eyes.  This was a madman.  I took a shaky breath and said

"What do you want?"

"Well, well, well, is that how you treat a man who fed you this morning?"

"Is this how you treat a bunch of innocent kids?" I said angrily

Then he did something unexpected.  He reached forward and punched me in the eye, I collapsed.

"What the hell is the matter with you?!?!" Dylan said

 And I heard Dylan start to come to my side when I heard a click of a gun.  I opened my swelling eye to a barrel of a gun.  I swallowed hard.

"You better learn to treat me with respect you little brat."

"Yessir" I grumbled

He muttered something under his breath and put his gun away.  

"Now I'm assuming at this point you should understand who I am." He stated matter-of-factly

"Actually I was just about to ask that.. OH MY GOSH ARE YOU SOME KIND OF MIND READER?!?!" I said sarcastically 

" 'Kenzie don't" Dylan said

"You should listen to your boyfriend there he may just keep himself from getting shot in the head.  Now moving on as I was saying I am the leader of a very very dangerous orinazation that would kill all of you with pleasure, but i thought you might be a bit useful for me."

"Why is he here?" I said referring to Liam

"He got in the way" he replied quickly 

I inhaled sharply.  Liam was here and could possibly die simply because he got in the way of our kidnapping.

"Any how, we could do this the hard way or the easy way."

"That's a bit stereotypical wouldn't you say" i said in a snarky tone

" 'Kenzie I'd stop right around now"

" Well can we have some time to think about it maybe Mr...."

"Michael and I'll give you till tonight"

I scoffed at the obvious lie and nodded as he left. 

"WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?" Dylan yelled at me as soon as "Michael" left

"What ever do you mean?"

"He could have killed you MaCk" his voice broke and tears started running down his face.  I hugged him around his neck and wouldn't let go until he stopped crying.

"But he didn't and I won't do it again I swear, We'll be okay." 

Oh God I hope we'll be okay
